LSP_Ron Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks guys Small progress. It's all matt coated now and working on the little bits. The gear isn't glued yet. I hope to get that done tonight. Since this is a very clean freshly painted airframe in real life I am not doing much for weathering but I am mucking up the landing gear and drop tanks since photos of the real deal show weathering on these items, Thanks for looking Jack, Iain and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Mighty fine looking F-18 Ron, just wanted to ask why you don't glue the forward windshield onto the fuselage prior to painting?? I've seen so many other modelers do this that I'm thinking there has to be a good reason - I've always taken the other path to glue the forward windshield on before painting?! Just curious!CheersAlan Edited by me: LSP Ron hope you don't mind Alan, please PM me Edited September 6, 2014 by LSP_Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks guys, Alan, I don't have a rime or reason with the canopy. The fit is great and it's easier to mask off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks Peter More to come but we've been having some nice fall weather so I won't be in the hobby room for a few days.
